I am highly interested in studying insect-microbe interactions. Focusing on the microbiomes of honeypot ants, I look forward to exploring how evolutionary processes shape host and microbiome genomes. Outside of research, I enjoy playing guitar, writing music, playing basketball, and creating illustrations that bring scientific concepts to life!
